Denver is coming off a bad loss at Minnesota, but the Nuggets typically dominate at home. They shoot 52.1 percent at Ball Arena and have gone 14-3 SU and 10-7 ATS, winning those games by an average of 9.2 points. They're also finally healthy, while the Clippers -- losers of three straight -- could be missing Paul George, who is questionable with a hamstring injury. Denver has won three straight meetings, including 114-104 on Nov. 25 in L.A. Back the Nuggets to improve to 5-0 ATS in their last five versus winning teams.

Some risk playing so early but I don't think there's any chance Paul George goes tonight (only rise when ruled out) as he's dealing with hamstring discomfort and missed several games earlier this season with a similar issue. It's also the front end of a B2B, so Kawhi Leonard may take a seat too (he won't play tomorrow if he does tonight). Nic Batum already has been ruled out.
